Simon Jordan has admitted he “admires” Leeds United but believes they are gambling on their Premier League future. For the second season running, the Whites are embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
Leeds have 23 points from 26 games - the same figure accumulated at this stage last year. Sitting 19th with just one win from 13 games, United face an uphill battle to retain their top-flight status.
The future of the club remains in limbo, with the San Francisco 49ers understood to be aiming for a full takeover by 2024. However, the huge financial repercussions of relegation could scupper those plans.
